The show will surely get your children interested in sci-fi, and you'll love it too! Lily Allen – No Shame Remember Lily Allen's pop hits 'Smile' and 'Not Fair'? Well, forget them, cause Lily Allen is back and she's definitely changed her tone. In her latest album, 'No Shame', Lily Allen talks about her divorce, her demons and her daughter. The album comes across as raw and unfiltered, and is definitely different from all her earlier work. Jorja Smith - Lost & Found Jorja Smith's debut album, Lost & Found, has arrived, featuring " Blue Lights", "Teenage Fantast" and "Where Did I Go?". Lost & Found is a well-paced album full of gentle vocals, catchy pop hooks and a playful relationship with the pains of youth, love and insecurity. Jorja Smith's first album is definitely worth a listen, and it surely won't be her last. Ben Howard – Noonday Dream Ben Howard's third album, 'Noonday Dream' is here, and it's already topping charts. Ben Howard lets instrumentals lead the way, paired with his signature emotive vocals.

Andre Schembri – "10 Snin Nilghab fl-Ewropa" Maltese national football team captain, Andre Schembri, has released his autobiography, writing about his passion for football and his aim to inspire young footballers. The book is also one towards a good cause, as all of Schem- bri's profits will go to the NGO Dr Klown. David Sedaris – Calypso Have you ever laughed yourself through a David Sedaris's story? Well, you might want to prepare yourself for this one, as Sedaris's latest book is his most deeply personal and dark book yet. This is a beach reading for people who dislike beaches, and should be a required reading for people who like dark jokes. Kamila Shamsie – Home Fire Kamila Shamsie's seventh novel, Home Fire, has recently won the Women's Prize for Fiction. The novel is a loose contemporary reworking of Sophocles's play Antigone, about a teenage girl who is forced to choose between obeying the law of the land and religious law. The novel is reworked to fit into the modern world, and will surely be an interesting read.
